Pony Canyon has another compact release coming up for one of their shows with Tears to Tiara getting the treatment in Japan. While we’ve got just about a month until the release hits we now have a look at the packaging for it, which isn’t a surprise in that it uses the main visual we’ve seen before. But it is a nicely compact set! The complete two-cour series is getting a January 17th, 2018 release where it’ll be done on what looks to be two discs at the moment priced at 16,000 yen. It’s expected to be free of extras and the like in order to keep the value and cost down.
Check out our review of the series.
Directed by Tomoki Kobayashi based on the series composition by Touko Machida, Masahiko Nakata worked on the character designs and served as the chief animation director with OLM and White Fox handling the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Makoto Ishii as Arthur, Toru Ohkawa as Arawn, Yuko Goto as Riannon, Kana Ueda as Rathty, Kaori Nazuka as Llyr, Mai Nakahara as Morgan, Rie Tanaka as Octavia, and Yūji Ueda as Lector.
Plot Concept: In a strange dark age, across the land that will someday become Europe, the Divine Empire has been on the march, ruthlessly devouring its weaker neighbors for generations. But when a savage priest attempts to resurrect the long-buried Demon King Arawn by sacrificing Riannon, the young high priestess of the Gael Clan, the Empire sows the seeds of its own destruction! Deciding to side with the beautiful girl instead, the revived Demon Lord joins forces with her potentially legendary brother Arthur, and begins to assemble a mighty force that may just bring the Divine Empire its knees! Humans, elves and even dragon take arms in a spectacular animated interpretation of the Celtic, Gaelic, British and Roman myths of Albion, as an all star English vocal cast adds the crowning glory to TEARS TO TIARA the complete epic collection!
